Hello everyone,
I just had my rod bearings replaced by a good independent shop (Dixon Motorsports, Wixom MI) preventativly with ACL STD bearings. My oil pan gasket needed replacement so figured might as well have the rod bearings done. I also noticed tiny metal bits in the drained engine oil- that was the final draw. During the service they also replaced a weeping radiator and oil filter housing gaskets. I bought the car at 118k miles. It now has about 120k miles and noticed over 20k miles OCI during its early life. The previous owner was also running mhd 2+ tune with FBO. Since the replacement, I have only driven like 20 miles and it felt great!

Let me know your thoughts on the condition of the bearings.
Attached are some images of the oem bearings:
